Do you lease or buy?

[Pam]

I am really so surprised at the way the poll is going in this thread. At work I feel like the odd man out, being the only one who doesn't lease. Here I feel like *one of the gang* for the most part.

i've done both. When it got too expensive to fix my old van, I rented a van for three years. I got in during a special and it was MUCH cheaper than buying, and the maintenance was covered. It actually worked out pretty well for my situation. When the lease was up, I bought a great used vehicle & got many years of service, then gave it to my son. I'm buying another used vehicle now, I don't like how high my payments are, but I like my car.
